Saving Future Woodworkers via Shooting Plane err.... Shooting a Plane

[@rs20894]

[@williambuckley1185]

A wood working video with a hilarious twist. I needed a laugh today.

[@Festus171]

Well done! I think you exacted revenge on behalf of many of us. I grew up with power tools and learned the hard way that the cheaper planes were not all they're cracked up to be. Luckily for me, I had an old Stanley #8 (of all things) that worked as sort of a benchmark of how a plane should perform. It's been a few years now, and my experience and understanding has improved to the point that I have either got them working or repurposed them.

[@cblack1863]

That should buff out.

[@darrenokeeffe-coles4177]

Thank you! I remember my first plane was one of these. Frustration isn't the word and yeh, I thought I was the problem! What did I know?! Yeh, it could have easily discouraged me! Thankfully there's woodworkers like you on KZbin who help educate and I love you all for that! Thank you again! ❤❤❤

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

We’ve all tried to use a hand plane or chisel or even a crappy table saw or bandsaw with the same frustration. Thanks for teaching us to know the difference.

[@djmccullers]

I think it would have been more interesting if you'd done a PREmortem going over why it was a danger to new woodworkers and THEN gone to town on it!

[@wortheffort]

The opening rant?

[@ildefonsogiron4034]

​@@wortheffortYeah

[@djmccullers]

@@wortheffort Yep! Or do the rant first THEN do a "1 hour earlier" where you went over WHY it was such a danger/PITA. Liked the video though. Gave me a whole new respect for a pellet gun!

[@Paul-FrancisB]

I've never paid that much for a plane, but they are all older than I am. My favourite is still the first one that I restored 45 years ago.

[@richpeggyfranks490]

Spot on message. Truly memorable revenge technique. I have a short handle sledge that I call my "decision maker". I have a tendency to mess with a tool FOREVER. But, years ago, I discovered the decision maker. If a tool is resisting my efforts, I ask the decision maker for guidance. After a couple "suggestions", the decision maker shows me the correct direction. The last tool is asked for help with was a devious stud finder that led me astray many times. The decision maker made sure it would no longer show mystery studs or worse, show no studs at all. Great video. Thanks.

[@davidturner1017]

All of these years, I thought it was my fault. My Dad, however, used it like it was no problem.

[@NSIndusInterior7904]

Very Nice Work Shop ❤

[@JohnGauntSega32]

Please tell us how you really feel about that plane.😅

[@pettere8429]

If you remake the handles it might still make an usable scrub plane... 😁

[@scottmedori1437]

So, should I be looking for it on Marketplace?

[@davidhrutfiord2537]

I fell for one of those 6 months ago. Just needed a #4 for one job. Ended up using a belt sander.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Cheap planes aren't worth the "steel" they are made of! Lesson learned long ago.

[@williamriley-le9zo]

Umm, Shawn, It's good to see you again after a length of time. Speaking of length, Man, your hair sure has gotten longer. In the comments you said something about dayquill & coming off the crud. Was that all it was? It seemed like you might have been 1/2 way into a bottle of Long Branch. LOL. I hope you're feeling better now man. Looking forward to more videos from you again. By the way, Good shootin' Tex. 🤠🤠🤣🤣

[@michaelthompson5875]

This feels like a masterclass in shot peening. I could be wrong.

Lot of passion in this post.

[@jayscott306]

Cathartic!

[@machine5464]

Ironically, I'm looking at buying my starter hand plane soon. Now I think I'll do some more research...

[@iyamjc1258]

Have one like that, a Stanley. Still use it. So, I have questions that were not answered.

[@wortheffort]

That was not a Stanley, that was a knockoff object that appeared like a Stanley without the design or build quality.

[@timothyvanderschultzen9640]

Great! Now restore it!

[@wortheffort]

Uh, no.

[@mattdworaczyk1884]

I feel like Mr. 177 needed some help from Mr. 300 Win Mag! Or maybe that's just who I was hoping he would get some help from... 🤣

[@timothymallon]

Awesome! That looked like a Great Neck plane. Junk! I had, for fun, bought a Kobalt No.4 plane. I NEVER got it working. I could restore a 120yr old Stanley any day. Ive repaired so many planes, it isn't even worth mentioning, but that Kobalt REFUSED to work. I even tried hacks that others have tried and nothing would ever make that plane take shavings. I held onto it for 2 years before I finally destroyed it

[@TheDistur]

They're pretty serious about tools in Texas.

[@pettere8429]

I suppose I got lucky with my cheapo no4 knockoff, it was actually easier than the new made Stanley no3 (baily) to get in working order (new made Stanleys are NOT worth the money nor the effort).

[@grumpyoldsodinacellar3518]

I fully agree, when covid struck, I took up hand tooled woodwork as a hobby (I'm retired) bought the cheapest new #4 I could find on the bay and spent some time making it work, I got there eventually. I still have that 4, it made me learn a lot about hand planes as I couldn't afford even a second hand stanley. Then I saw a video on a brand new stanley #4 and saw all the things that needed doing just to make that thing work. I am so glad I never bought a new stanley. A couple of years ago, a friend who does house clearances gave me a box of 4 Stanley's, all #4's probably 1950’s vintage. They'd been in a shed whose roof had collapsed some 3 years previous, so "a little rust" was expected. I managed to get all 4 working well proving to myself that the 1950’s jobs may not have heenan their best, but were still pretty good and a damn sight better than the "new" stuff they try and pass of as "hand planes".

[@donaldfrederick6814]

Kida amazed that the frog and base casting survived that many hits with a 2lb hammer. I just want to know if you felt better after all those shots?😂

[@hbbarn8607]

I have one and could never make heads or tails out of it. Thought it was me.

[@greggill63]

To funny! I thought it was just me!

[@ginerbaz]

I'm new, I'm fixing a door, the door only cost £30. I'm not going to pay £150-£300 on a plain i might never use again. We need to start 'cheap and nasty' to see if we even want to do this stuff

Restoration video coming soon?

[@wortheffort]

Uh, no.

[@henrysara7716]

I would call the video extremely focused based on experience and results.

[@jonavedian1027]

Was that a full tin? Arm sore from pumping / break cocking? Or did you go through a box of co2 capsules? Whatever, it was fun to watch.

Just a quick question. You don’t reckon you turned your sister away from a fulfilling career of woodworking by giving her a crappy plane she couldn’t use?

JSB makes em for FX and having used both I do feel there's a quality difference. I use the FX for field target matches.

[@gregjohnson8486]

Maybe I missed it Shawn but where did you say what "it" was (besides the obvious) or why you depised it so? I'm all for blasting junk tools but let us know more next time please. 👍🏾

[@wortheffort]

If you can buy a new plane for $19.99 I can pretty much guarantee it qualifies as a "Tool Like Object". Lots of companies sell that particular one with their company stickers on it but there are things other than planes that qualify.

[@coreywalker2656]

Hopefully u got all that out of your system

[@walt66a]

A waste of good lead!

[@awjaaa]

lollies! All these new kids commenting on your video like you're not O.G. That's what ya GIT for not posting for so long, dude.

[@markduggan3451]

Why?

[@ianfrancis1584]

Your passion for teaching and the depth of your knowledge is inspiring, but what is it about Americans and guns. The rest of the world simply doesn't get it. Please don't stray too far from your proven astounding videos. 😮

Just a little fun while recovering from the crud.

[@rickselby8130]

Just because you don’t know how to use it doesn’t mean you should destroy it. I was a new wood worker not than long ago. Just need a good teacher and practice.

[@wortheffort]

Ask someone who knows what plane to buy. But I can assure you if they are $19.99 new they aren't worth it.

[@riccardo-964]

I don't see the point of doing this.

Sorry……not funny. Hand planes DO work.
